YANBU, I spend every day funding and looking after children in need (mine) and I hate the way that they are supposed to dress up in stupid spots and make me bake and witter on about how much I hate it all, but secretly inside, in case rl people think I am callous and a witch. Perish the thought.

I do sometimes get a bit annoyed when a sleb who has the money to buy the entire village new houses/schools/running hot & cold water does the sad face and tries to guilt trip me into giving more than I can afford. But I'm contrary. It's a very good cause and some bits of it are good to watch. We record it and start watching about 9pm so we can fast forward the bits we don't want to watch.

I actually like the cause and do watch it. My personal issue is that we need charities like children in need in the first place - so much of what they provide should be available on the nhs, for instance.

- a donation to buy a bun - a donation to make a bear full of coins- a donation to be dressed spotty- a donation to buy children's arefacts at the end of the day- a general donation to children in need
